On Thursday I made the change from sidux to aptosid, all went ok. The last step was to install the current kernel, after the reboot I the wlan connection won't work, neither with wl nor b43. Always I try to scan the betworks (ceni or wpasupplicant)I got no result. This is not completly true, sometimes I got a result, and a connection but after a few time it broke.

I tried a few hints I got in the german forum, but I have no success.

What I tried:
new build from wl, blacklist b43, ssb
completly purge of broadcom-sta-* no wl more
option settings pio=1 for b43, DMA error from dmesg is solved
an other things I forget no,...

When I against in front of my laptop, I handed the output from lspci and dmesg later.

hi,

i've got the same card model and cannot set wireless to work
can you please point the page where you found the solution ?

EDIT with the slh.16 kernel i did have trouble with one system. i usually never touch the wifi switch, but this time i had to "modprobe -r wl" and modprobe wl and fiddle with the wifi switch before ceni's wifi scan would give me values.
